sulfur being a solid at room temperature while oxygen is a gas
this forms hydrogen oxide (water)! This was my science hmwk and i hope that this has helped you!!
When a hydrocarbon fuel containing sulfur impurities is burned, the **sulfur reacts with oxygen from the air to produce sulfur dioxide (SO₂)
Sulphur dioxide is a COMPOUND. It tis a combination of two oxygen atoms with a sulphur atom . Structurally it is shown as ' O=S=O'. (Very similar to carbon dioxide. Each oxygen atom is doubly covalently bonded to the sulphur atom. NB It is NOT a mixture, because mixtures have NO electronic bonding between atoms. NNB It is NOT an element. It is composed of TWO elements viz. sulphur and oxygen. The Periodic Table gives a list of all the elements. You will not find sulphur dioxide (SO2) listed,as it is a compound, but separately sulphur(S) and oxygen(O).
Oxygen is a smaller, highly electronegative element that forms a diatomic gas (O₂) due to stable pπ-pπ double bonds, while larger sulfur is less electronegative, has vacant d-orbitals, and forms octa-atomic rings (S₈) via single bonds, which are stronger and result in a solid state.
Hydrogen's symbol is H, oxygen's is O, carbon's is C, nitrogen's is N and Sulphur's is S.

When you burn sulphur with oxygen you create sulphur dioxide or sulphur trioxide.
Sulphur + oxygen = Sulphur Oxide
Sulphur and Oxygen
"sulphur+oxygen->sulphur oxide."Se + O2 under pressure renders SeO2 (selenium dioxide). "Comment on the fact that the analagous reaction between sulphur and oxygen, although extremely slow, gives a product with a different stoichiometry". Part 1A Inorganic Chemistry Paper, University of Oxford, 2008.So the paper suggeststhat sulphur dioxide is not the product of direct combination of sulphur and oxygen. Why is this? Is it contaminated with some SO3?I think it's actually sulphur dioxide rather than sulphur oxide as someone else suggested. If you look at the reaction of carbon and oxygen, it doesn't produce carbon oxide, but carbon dioxide. So therefore I think if:Carbon + oxygen --> carbon dioxideThen:Sulphur + oxygen --> Sulphur dioxide
Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is the compound formed when sulphur reacts with oxygen.

Oxygen.
Only sulphur and oxygen. You should be able to tell that from the name.
Sulphur and oxygen react to form either sulfur dioxide or sulfur trioxide, depending on reaction conditions.
Oxygen!!! However, you do NOT add oxygen, it is combined. Yellow elemental sulphur is heated in a flow of oxygen gas. The product is sulphur dioxide. It has a very acrid/acidic smell, so do NOT breath it in. Sulphur dioxide can be dissolved in water to form Sulphurous Acid. The reaction equation for the combination of sulphur and oxygen is ; - S(s) + O2(g) == heat==> SO2(g) The reaction equation for the combination of sulphur dioxide and water is:- SO2(g) + H2O(l) == H2SO3(aq) NOTE this is sulphurOUS Acid. SulphurIC Acid has the formula ' H2SO4 '. one extra oxygen in combination.
